A recognized brand in France
In 5 years of exclusive import of RibCraft in France, without concessionaire, Concarnautic sold more than 100 boats, mainly between 5,85 m and 6,80 m. The range of semi-rigid boats built in Yeovil, in the south of England, ranges from 4.80 m to 12 m and features standard composite hulls, or aluminium hulls on request. It has attracted many customers in France, both pleasure boaters and professionals, such as Ifremer and SNSM. The two markets are equally divided.
Dealer applicants
Thanks to a growing notoriety since the beginning of the importation in 2011, several French shipyards asked Concarnautic to become a dealer of the brand Ribcraft. The importer, based in Concarneau, therefore decided to set up a distribution network throughout the territory. The first concession sites are:
- Shipyard Cras Nautique (22)
- Shipyard Chantereyne (50)
- Shipyard Océan Nautique (17)
- Shipyard Côte Basque Plaisance (64)
A better after-sales service everywhere in France
As sales increase, Concarnautic's network aims to offer better after-sales service, thanks to local players.
The first dealerships announced allow Ribcraft to be represented on the entire Atlantic Channel coast. Discussions are under way to designate concessionaires for the Mediterranean coast.
